The Democrats of Red Willow coun
ty met in mass convention Tuesday
in the city park R L Duckworth
called the comention to order
N J Verling was made temporary
chairman and R A Green temporary
secreiarj the temporary organizat
ion was made permanent
Frank Colfer J W Hoppe C J
Ryan 0 B Masters James McClung
were constituted the committee on
resolutions
The only point of difference in the
committee was the action on county
option Messrs Hoppe and Masters
made a minority report on that reso
lution but the convention voted
against the county option plank by
40 to 17 As there was a large at
tendance in the convention of Mc
Cook delegates from the liquor party
this vote however does not indicate
the strength of county option among
even the Democrats A desire to
not embarrass Governor Shallenber
ger is given as an additional reason
for the failure to secure a county op
tion plank
The resolution committee was se
lected by Messrs P Walsh John
Real N 1 Uerling J E Oxley
During the absence of the resolu
tion committee the convention was
addressed by Willis E Reed of Madi
son who would like to be United
States senMcr

We the Democrats of Red Willow
county Neb in convention assem
bled do hereby declare our position
upon the following questions which
we think are and will be of vital im
portance to both the state at large
and our partys welfare
First We wish to endorse to the
Lfullest extent the excellent and
Met in McCook i uesday and Selected
State Delegates Turned Down
County Option Selected
Organization
ticisnt administration ot our present
governor Ashton C Shallenberger
In particular do we command him for
his honest and courageous attitude
with regard to the enforcement of all
those laws passed by our last Demo
ciatic legislature
Second We emphatically declare
ourselves to be in favor of the in
itiative referendum and recall and
we hereby instruct our delegates to
the State Democratic Convention to
vote for the adoption of this measure
into the State Platform
Third We believe that the Coun
ty Option question should not be
made a plank in the State Platform
nasmuch as the principles involved
At State Fair
The Wright Brothers aeroplanes

of the state fair Sept 5th to 9th
Their contract calls for two flights
between 10 and 12 each morning and

Birds Eggs
Ostriches lay the largest eggs of all
birds now extant according to a writ
er in the Scientific American but the
ostrichs egg would have appeared
small beside that extinct Madagascar
bird the epyornis which measured
more than thirty inches in its small
est circumference The smallest birds
eggs are those of the minute species of
humming birds which are smaller
than the eggs of certain kinds of trop
ical beetles But the cuckoo lays the
relatively smallest egg that is to say
while the jackdaw and the cuckoo are
about equal in size the formers egg is
five or six times larger than the hit
ters The fact that the cuckoo is
wont to deposit its eggs in the nests
of birds which are usually much small
er than itself doubtless accounts for
this The relatively largest egg is laid
by the kiwi a strange wingless New
Zealand bird The egg is no lss than
five -inches long although the extreme
length of the bird itself is only twenty-seven
inches
Tommy and the Worm

Railroad Revision Measures
Creation of Commerce
Court and Postal Sav
ings Banks Among Laws
Pointed to by Tatt
T
By JAMES A EDGERTON
nE chief measures passed by
the session of congress just
closed were the railroad bill
the postal savings bank bill
the land withdrawal bill the reclama
tion bond bill the campaign publicity
bill and the statehood bill What
amounted to a tariff commission bill
was also passed for an appropriation
was voted the tariff board on ai under
standing that it should investigate cost
of production at home and abroad
All of these measures were enacted
on the recommendation of the presi
dent and constitute what are known
as the Taft policies
Probably never in the history of the
country did a president so completely
have his way so early in his adminis
tration True lie had to abandon some
of liis program including such items
as federal license anti injunction and
ship subsidy but this abandonment
was only temporary Considering the
driving power lie displayed he should
be able tu force through those items
and others during the short session
He will also probably attempr to ob
tain federal regulation of railroad stock
and bond issues at some future session
ne recommended it strongly this time
and his idea was ingrafted in the
Wickersham draft of the railroad bill
but was stricken out in the senate
rTater the conference committee gave
him a commission to inquire into rail
way securities and it will doubtless
be on the report of this commission
that he will renew his recommendation
for federal regulation The chief ob
ject of such a law would be to prevent
the watering of stock
A Bill With Teeth
The new railroad law provides
among other things for a commerce
court to which all appeals from the in
terstate commerce commission shall be
made It gives the commission power
to initiate an inquiry although uo
formal complaint has been made It
confers on the commission the power
to suspend for ten months a proposed
advance in rates and to prohibit such
advance permanently if found to be
unreasonable and unjust This provi
sion went into effect at once in order
that it might apply to the proposed in
crease in freight rates recently halted
by the famous Taft Wickersham in
junction The law places telegraphs
telephones cables and wireless under
the control of the commission but pro
vides for special rates such as those
given to the press It contains a long

and short haul provision forbidding a
greater charge for a sDiort haul than
for a longer one over theSsame line
It prevents the merger o competing
roads or of the absorption by a rail
road of a competing water line It per
mits shippers to choose routefe and to
be represented by counsel in hWrings
It forbids a railroad from lowering its
rates to drive out water competition
and afterward raising them except by
permission of the interstate comjmerce
commission It provides for a cojmmis
sion to inquire into the issue of railroad
securities and the watering of stacks
It contains many other features of
benefit to shippers such as thosje to
expedite hearings Many of4 the provi
sions in the railroad law were placed
there by the insurgents in the two
houses They called it giving the UiH
teeth Amonjr the most notable of
these additions are the long and short
haul clause and the inclusion of tele
graphs and telephones The progres
sives also struck out the merger and
traffic agreement sections
Postal Depositories
The postal savings bank law marks
a new departure in American finance
It provides that the president and two
members of his cabinet shall

ly inspecting it from all sides depositories at money order postothces
